There are basically two typesof fiber optics: diffuse orthrough-beam.The diffuse models have anintegrated emitter andreceiver at the cable end.The through-beams use twoseparate cables.

Another plus

For the ultimate in flexibility,fiber optics for userassembly are also available:any desired combinationsare possible with the trim-to-length duplex cable andvarious end fittings.

It’s easy to see why fiberoptics are so commonlyused: The variety of endconfigurations, with straightor angled light exit, flexibleoptical head or coaxialfibers, the various fiberdiameters and the ability totrim them to the desiredlength.

Applications

– Small parts detection– For tight mounting

conditions– Inspecting parts features– Counting (e.g. counting

drops)– Precise parts positioning– Handling and assembly– Robotics

BFOPlastic Fiber Opticsfor user assembly

Individual solutions withuser-assembled plasticfiber optics

If “off-the-rack” solutionsaren’t for you, we have thealternative: Trim fiber opticcables to the length yourequire from a 20 m roll. Youwill only use exactly as muchcable as needed – providingsavings especially if you areusing multiple sensors.For simple applications, forexample, you may not needan end piece; simply clampthe end. Or for convenienceand flexibility, select fromamong the available endpieces. The plastic fiberoptic cable is simply crimpedinto the end piece. No gluingis necessary, and the endpiece can be removed at anytime.
